Artificial intelligence in the diagnosis and treatment of acute appendicitis: a narrative review.

Updates in surgery
Artificial intelligence is transforming healthcare. Artificial intelligence can improve patient care by analyzing large amounts of data to help make more informed decisions regarding treatments and enhance medical research through analyzing and inter...

Application of machine learning to the prediction of postoperative sepsis after appendectomy.

Surgery
BACKGROUND: We applied various machine learning algorithms to a large national dataset to model the risk of postoperative sepsis after appendectomy to evaluate utility of such methods and identify factors associated with postoperative sepsis in these...

A novel and simple machine learning algorithm for preoperative diagnosis of acute appendicitis in children.

Pediatric surgery international
INTRODUCTION: There is a tendency toward nonoperative management of appendicitis resulting in an increasing need for preoperative diagnosis and classification. For medical purposes, simple conceptual decision-making models that can learn are widely u...

Diagnosis and classification of pediatric acute appendicitis by artificial intelligence methods: An investigator-independent approach.

PloS one
Acute appendicitis is one of the major causes for emergency surgery in childhood and adolescence. Appendectomy is still the therapy of choice, but conservative strategies are increasingly being studied for uncomplicated inflammation. Diagnosis of acu...

Use of a robotic camera holder (FreeHand) for laparoscopic appendicectomy.

Minimally invasive therapy & allied technologies : MITAT : official journal of the Society for Minimally Invasive Therapy
Use of a mechanical arm to hold the laparoscopic camera has many advantages. FreeHand (FreeHand Ltd, Guildford, United Kingdom) is a robotic camera holder which uses head movement and infrared technology. This trial assessed the usefulness of FreeHa...

Bilateral endoscopic technique for left atrial appendectomy and robot-assisted mitral valve repair.

Interactive cardiovascular and thoracic surgery
We report a bilateral thoracoscopic technique in which robot-assisted mitral valve repair was achieved concomitantly with stapler division of the large left atrial appendage. The patient was a 65-year-old male with severe mitral regurgitation, paroxy...

"A patient like me" - An algorithm-based program to inform patients on the likely conditions people with symptoms like theirs have.

Medicine
To date, consumer health tools available over the web suffer from serious limitations that lead to low quality health- related information. While health data in our world are abundant, access to it is limited because of liability and privacy constrai...

SINGLE-ACCESS TRANSUMBILICAL LAPAROSCOPIC APPENDECTOMY USING CURVED REUSABLE INSTRUMENTS: AN INITIAL REPORT OF THREE CASES.

Khirurgiia
INTRODUCTION: The continuous evolution of laparoscopic surgery and the ambition of better cosmetic results raise the need for less invasive procedures. The umbilicus represents a natural scar and constitutes a well-healing site of access to the perit...
